And in Offices Around the World, Paper Sales Skyrocketed
Published by Joel September 10th, 2007 in Beer, DIY, Jobs. Share ThisMy apologies for the awkward formatting on this post, but I couldn’t bear to shear away or compress a single pixel of one man’s glorious office conquest.
There is no beer here.
Seriously, do not mess around with me. Where is the beer?
Oh, you’re good.
(Thanks, Chumford!)

Genius, absolute genius.
This brings back memories! At the military academy I attended, only Senior could have refrigerators, and alcohol was forbidden. I had a box that was the exact size of a mini-’frige, so we did the exact same thing and kept in a wall locker. Worked like a charm! Nice to see someone else thinking.
American ingenuity at work. Watch for the perfected product from Asia available soon at Walmart.
This would be great if they incorporated something like this into the TV show “The Office”. :-)

i may have to try that.
What happens when the boss hears those “boxes of paper” humming. Better put it in a noisey copy room that doesnt use much paper >.>
Brilliant
It’s easier if you just get a job where you’re allowed to drink beer. That’s what I did.
I bow thrice in thy honored direction, oh Sensei!
Truly, you have MUCH to teach us.
Nice!! Very clever
DAMN GOOD IDEA!!!!!1

That’s sweet… until someone rats you out while actually looking for paper.
Ah, now I can rest as I do no longer fear for the future of man.
Brilliant.
JP, didn’t that military academy teach English? “Exact Same” is a redundancy. Something is either the same, or it isn’t. But maybe you were drunk that day?
@Jim
First, don’t flame-bait. Second, the phrase “the exact same [noun]”, although gramatically redundant, is a phrase used in the spoken and informal styles of the English language. It may not be a wise idea to use the construction in a piece of formal writing, but to use it on a forum like this is perfectly acceptable.
Thirdly, tidy up your own grammar first, using a conjunction at the beginning of a one clause sentence is not good grammar - “But maybe you were drunk that day?”
Don’t be a hypocrite and don’t flame-bait, instead, know what you are talking about.
Really nice post! I love the ingenuity.

That first comma should be a semicolon - otherwise, faultless!
Obs. comment: Wicked fridge camo. Wicked.
DOH!
Oh well. I need to revise my grammar book again on the correct syntax for using semicolons. They have always been the most frustrating grammatical construct for me to learn. Cheers for correcting me, I need to know my weaknesses.
Once again, good job to the original poster! Second time I have Stumbled on this site so I must not be the only one who likes it.

@rob:at least the beer is Belgian.
Sometimes subtlety is best. I just have a black mini fridge crammed diagonally in the darkest corner under my desk with a file cabinet blocking the view from the cube entrance. Nobody has a clue it’s there unless I open it up right in front them.
We have no rules against having fridges in the office but I’d rather not advertise mine in case some hard-ass changes the rules.
Back in college we felt it more important to have cold beer than to have cold food, so we gutted our refrigerator to make room inside it for a keg, installed a tap in the door, and built our own keg-erator.
That looks like my bathroom!
Shweet!
Now there is a great idea, mm I have room under my work desk for something like that too.
This is awesome.
I. HAVE. TO. TRY. THIS. NOW!!!!!
My boss doesn’t let me have beer at all during work but this is genius!
Hehe, where I can get one of these? :D
Why didn’t I stumble upon this last year?
Oh, you’re good. Must. Try.
